2nd of such run that i participate. e 1st is MILK, and both are not i joining on my own initiative though..MILK cos of SD and AHM cos of army
but e MILK isn't much of a run then, i went for the 4+ km one, and those who went know how squeezy it is? so at the start everyone is walking n blocking, even run tt time also relac relac..
but this time different, if i join on myself i wun mind relac relac but well, joining competitive and sorta "representing my div", how can i relac? but anw it is more of a challenge to myself; cos i know i do have e potential in running, it's abt discovering it.
I mean in pri sch, sec sch and maybe JC, i do like running (well i nv really can't stand walking fr pt to pt. ha).. but then i wasn't a fast runner, 1 main reason is prob because i nv go train (wad a irony) and i guess i'm weak in my mind then. i mean if i m tired i will just stop, well y so pia rite? ha. i still rmb pri sch, think p5, i was ask to run the 800m, which no need heats. i nv train for it, then i still rmb e 1st round i tried to run as fast as i can; i was 2nd. but it was a mistake because i shack out after tt, 2nd round slow down like mad. but actually the stupid thing is later i know bronze they give like 3 medals. so i should have stay top 5 can liao. wad a waste. anw my 2.4km in jc was nv good; i managed to get 11min15sec fastest in sec sch, but jc fastest is e just gold timing, which i think is 11++ or 12++ min? anw it's sth easy. but in army, suddenly my potential surfaced, like in bmt, i think i ran 11min5 sec in my final ippt, without stopping, then prob cos of trainings in gas mask, i finally get gold, fastest i think is 9min20sec on track. so it's abt discovering the potential. but i wun deny my long legs is such a large advantage for me, esp for long distance.
ok seem to digress a lot. but anw, this challenge i suppose also came up from the pressure after that
horror 1st training (click to see). 1st training 50min non-stop. when i nv even run half the time non-stop before. but i know i can't be defeated n go for my own trainings. actually also nv ran much myself also, i think a total of 5? but wad i rmb more is e final 3, one i ran 25min non-stop though i so feel like giving up time n again. another 20min(not long) and e final one is on thurs actually, i managed ard 33min non-stop.
hence actually i set myself this challenge long ago, that as long as i complete the race without stopping, i have won. then dunno why, few days back i actually set myself a timing. actually i think it was a 60min previously, then it changed to a target of 48min i set yday. dunno why e big change but i suppose it is just a target.
but anw i ran a 51min, not on target but i think i have won over myself. i mean, for a 1st time i ran 10km this distance, from a just 5km previously, it is really gd. anw my 1km i ran is already like 5min, i know it will be difficult to fasten things up but i rather be steady. i guess it's surprising i actually managed to keep the timing that exact, really 5min for every km.. anw i think 1 reason i can't run long distance is cos of my stomach, it always give some prob, discomfort in some way or another, it is especially common in the morning..and it is also like this today. i tell myself, jialat liao. i admit i did have ideas of stopping, as in to walk. i think that started on the 4km mark. then reaching the half way mark, i got this idea again... then e 6km mark. but despite that i just ran. guess i told myself, let me run 40min (8km) without stopping. then i tell myself 10min more, tt's just how i ran 2.4 anw.. then i reached e 9km. i still have idea of stopping. but then i tell myself, 5min more. i suppose tt's how i go n go.
but something did happen in e final 1km. some bad judgment on my part i will say. cos e 10km n 6km converge, then i keep seeing the stupid sign 200m for 6km, so i suspect 10km shd be finishing soon. then i saw another sign again, n i tot the end is near. then i sprinted. big mistake. it is not as near as i expect. n maybe cos of the disappointment, i vomited. damn. but not like i can control. n i vomit twice i think. but it's those small amt one. luckily. then i continue to run. but at least i did sprinted successfully the 2nd time..
but i will say it's a gd run. i definitely wun mind another 10km run. somehow it sparked my interest to train more. ha. i m sure i can go better. anw i am glad that through the AHM trainings (though i went for like 2-3 only) made me make some friends, though sadly, the next time i will see them will probably be the next year. ha.
but think for now, i suppose, it's time to train for my 2.4km to get my gold. i m sure with this 10km training, the gold is definitely within my reach. it's just when i go do it.
